Priority date - July 2014 

OK I'll wait,

I asked on other forums,

they said that you need to wait for an available visa.

On visa bulletin my priority day was already 1.5 years ago.

SusieQQQ - Thank you very much for your answers!

SusieQQQ - Thank you for the answer!
I am the Son and I am writing to you. I'm currently in Russia.
According to the idea, they had to transfer the case to NVC for further processing and interview.

But I do not understand why the case status changed when everything was already approved.

ok, why did the Case status change after the case was already sent to NVC? And how long should we wait now?

Hello Everyone!

I have the following question: 

Our petition (I-130 for an unmarried son over 21 years old) was approved in December 2019,

then we received an I-797 which indicated that we must fill out a form (I-824 Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition). 

We filled out and submitted. This form was approved in September 2020. A week later, we received I 797, which said that our case was sent to NVC (National Visa Center)

And today 10/19/2020  I received an email from USCIS-CaseStatus@uscis.dhs.gov stating that the status has changed to 

Application Type: I130, PETITION FOR ALIEN RELATIVE
Your Case Status: Initial Review

Here is a email:

*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL ***

There has been a recent processing action taken on your case.

Receipt Number: EAC**********

Application Type: I130, PETITION FOR ALIEN RELATIVE

Your Case Status: Initial Review

On October 19, 2020, we transferred your Form I130, PETITION FOR ALIEN RELATIVE, Receipt Number EAC**********, to another office for processing and sent you a transfer notice. The notice explains why we transferred your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by November 18, 2020, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators. If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.
 

Please tell me, what this means???? 

Thank you All!

Sincerely,

Pavel S

Hello Everyone!

It will be good if my case is approved at the end of 2020.

May have to wait even longer (((
